There was one time I was waiting in the checkout counter and the man before was ready to pay. He took out a card and the cashier asked him if this was a debit card and the man said yes.
She then processed the card as debit card and asked the man to punch in the info in the keypad. After he did so, the machine said failed transaction. The man cannot believe it and insisted the card should be working because he shopped in TnT many times before. The cashier tried it again but second time it still came back failed.
The man got pissed off and demanded to see supervisor. His wife already advised him to pay cash because many people including me were waiting already. The supervisor came and took a look of the card and told the cashier that it was a credit card......
The cashier was mumbling and complaining to us when the man left that he did not tell her that was a credit card...
Me: Hi My name is Superberry calling from Coast Wholesale Applicances. I would like to verify the address for your tomorrow's delivery.

Me: Did you buy any applicanes? I'm calling from CWA!
Dude: What? What Coastal?
Me: No...... c-o-a-s-t wholesale applicanes. Did you buy a fridge? We are going to deliver it to you tomorrow!
Dude: oh yeah! Coast! You are sending the fridge to me tomorrow? What time?
(Dude, you really believe I can give you a delivery time?)
Well... HaHa... U know... Dere is alot ppl dun realli know wat is a debit card... HAHAHA...
Everytime I hav to double check what kind of card is it lol...
I dunno haha... Cuz if the cashier did check... this won't happen... lol
even the person didn't know that is a CC instead of a DC lol
true. The cashier just cannot admit she is at fault and keeping on blaming on the man. Her Cantonese was too fast for me to understand all of what she was saying.
